News: Skyhawk closes 1 day after opening

By Chip

May. 8th, 2006 -- Cedar Point's newest ride, Skyhawk, experienced a mechanical problem and was shut down after operating for only one day.

Skyhawk, a Screamin' Swing ride built by S&S Power of Logan, Utah, is a giant swing ride. Riders swing 125 feet above the midway at 65 mph on the new ride.

Park officials did not specify what happened with the ride, nor did they say if it would be working again today.
